Hello, and welcome
to "His Words Are Life."
00:00:16.20\00:00:18.65
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and
today we're going to begin
00:00:18.66\00:00:21.06
reading together
in the Book of Isaiah.
00:00:21.07\00:00:23.42
Well, let's
pray before we start.
00:00:23.43\00:00:25.93
Dear, Heavenly Father,
thank you for this opportunity
00:00:25.94\00:00:28.74
to sit in Your
presence and focus our hearts
00:00:28.75\00:00:32.07
on Your word to us,
which is light and life.
00:00:32.08\00:00:35.40
Please, send the Holy
Spirit to open our ears
00:00:35.41\00:00:38.67
to hear You speaking
to each of us personally.
00:00:38.68\00:00:41.66
We love You so much,
thank you for loving us, amen.
00:00:41.67\00:00:46.51
We're reading in
the Book of Isaiah
00:00:46.52\00:00:48.54
in Chapter 65,
starting with verse 12.
00:00:48.55\00:00:52.79
And God through the prophet
00:00:52.80\00:00:54.43
speaking to those
who have forsaken Him.
00:00:54.44\00:00:58.83
Therefore will I
number you to the sword,
00:00:58.84\00:01:02.02
and ye shall all bow
down to the slaughter.
00:01:02.03\00:01:05.08
Because when I
called, ye did not answer,
00:01:05.09\00:01:09.71
when I speak, ye did not hear,
00:01:09.72\00:01:12.93
but did evil before mine eyes,
00:01:12.94\00:01:15.04
and did choose that
wherein I delighted not.
00:01:15.05\00:01:19.31
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God,
00:01:19.32\00:01:21.65
Behold, my servants shall
eat, but ye shall be hungry.
00:01:21.66\00:01:25.93
Behold, my servants shall
drink, but ye shall be thirsty.
00:01:25.94\00:01:30.44
Behold, my
servants shall rejoice,
00:01:30.45\00:01:32.64
but ye shall be ashamed.
00:01:32.65\00:01:35.28
Behold, my servants
shall sing for joy of heart,
00:01:35.29\00:01:38.96
but ye shall cry
for sorrow of heart,
00:01:38.97\00:01:41.40
and shall howl for
vexation of spirit.
00:01:41.41\00:01:44.99
And ye shall leave
your name for a curse
00:01:45.00\00:01:46.80
unto my chosen for the
Lord God shall slay thee,
00:01:46.81\00:01:49.37
and call his
servants by another name.
00:01:49.38\00:01:52.61
That he who
blesseth himself in the earth
00:01:52.62\00:01:54.45
shall bless himself
in the God of truth,
00:01:54.46\00:01:57.33
and he that
sweareth in the earth
00:01:57.34\00:01:59.28
shall swear by the God of truth,
00:01:59.29\00:02:01.87
because the former
troubles are forgotten,
00:02:01.88\00:02:04.58
and because they
are hid from mine eyes.
00:02:04.59\00:02:07.07
For, behold, I create
new heavens and a new earth
00:02:07.08\00:02:11.56
and the former
shall not be remembered,
00:02:11.57\00:02:14.01
nor come into mind.
00:02:14.02\00:02:16.06
But be ye glad
and rejoice for ever
00:02:16.07\00:02:19.11
in that which I create
for, behold, I create Jerusalem
00:02:19.12\00:02:23.98
a rejoicing, and
her people a joy.
00:02:23.99\00:02:28.06
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
00:02:28.07\00:02:29.72
and joy in my people
and the voice of weeping
00:02:29.73\00:02:32.76
shall be no more heard in
her, nor the voice of crying.
00:02:32.77\00:02:37.09
There shall be no more
thence an infant of days,
00:02:37.10\00:02:39.92
nor an old man that hath not
filled his days for the child
00:02:39.93\00:02:43.32
shall die an hundred years old,
00:02:43.33\00:02:44.65
but the sinner
being an hundred years old
00:02:44.66\00:02:46.41
shall be accursed.
00:02:46.42\00:02:48.30
And they shall build
houses, and inhabit them,
00:02:48.31\00:02:51.57
and they shall plant vineyards,
and eat the fruit of them.
00:02:51.58\00:02:54.26
They shall not
build, and another inhabit,
00:02:54.27\00:02:56.97
they shall not
plant, and another eat
00:02:56.98\00:02:59.83
for as the days of a tree
are the days of my people,
00:02:59.84\00:03:03.45
and mine elect shall long
enjoy the work of their hands.
00:03:03.46\00:03:07.37
They shall not labour in vain,
nor bring forth for trouble,
00:03:07.38\00:03:11.75
for they are the seed
of the blessed of the Lord,
00:03:11.76\00:03:13.92
and their offspring with them.
00:03:13.93\00:03:16.02
And it shall come to
pass, that before they call,
00:03:16.03\00:03:19.11
I will answer, and while they
are yet speaking, I will hear.
00:03:19.12\00:03:23.56
The wolf and the
lamb shall feed together,
00:03:23.57\00:03:26.35
and the lion shall
eat straw like the bullock
00:03:26.36\00:03:29.63
and dust shall be
the serpent's meat.
00:03:29.64\00:03:32.82
They shall not hurt nor destroy
00:03:32.83\00:03:35.32
in all my holy
mountain, saith the Lord.
00:03:35.33\00:03:38.61
And continuing
with Isaiah Chapter 66,
00:03:38.62\00:03:41.70
and this is the
King James Version.
00:03:41.71\00:03:44.92
Thus saith the Lord,
The heaven is my throne,
00:03:44.93\00:03:48.08
and the earth is my footstool
00:03:48.09\00:03:50.57
where is the house
that ye build unto me?
00:03:50.58\00:03:52.74
And where is the
place of my rest?
00:03:52.75\00:03:55.09
For all those
things hath mine hand made,
00:03:55.10\00:03:57.51
and all those things have been,
00:03:57.52\00:03:59.22
saith the Lord but
to this man will I look,
00:03:59.23\00:04:02.57
even to him that is poor
and of a contrite spirit,
00:04:02.58\00:04:06.14
and trembleth at my word.
00:04:06.15\00:04:08.60
He that killeth an ox
is as if he slew a man,
00:04:08.61\00:04:13.68
he that sacrificeth a lamb,
as if he cut off a dog's neck,
00:04:13.69\00:04:18.84
he that offereth an oblation,
as if he offered swine's blood,
00:04:18.85\00:04:23.76
he that burneth incense,
as if he blessed an idol.
00:04:23.77\00:04:27.24
Yea, they have
chosen their own ways,
00:04:27.25\00:04:30.63
and their soul delighteth
in their abominations.
00:04:30.64\00:04:34.53
I also will
choose their delusions,
00:04:34.54\00:04:37.23
and will bring
their fears upon them,
00:04:37.24\00:04:39.21
because when I
called, none did answer,
00:04:39.22\00:04:43.56
when I speak, He did not hear
00:04:43.57\00:04:46.96
but they did
evil before mine eyes,
00:04:46.97\00:04:48.85
and chose that in
which I delighted not.
00:04:48.86\00:04:53.12
Hear the word of the Lord,
ye that tremble at his word,
00:04:53.13\00:04:57.88
your brethren that hated you,
00:04:57.89\00:04:59.53
that cast you out
for my name's sake, said.
00:04:59.54\00:05:02.61
Let the Lord be glorified
but he shall appear to your joy,
00:05:02.62\00:05:07.50
and they shall be ashamed.
00:05:07.51\00:05:09.77
A voice of noise from the
city, a voice from the temple,
00:05:09.78\00:05:12.57
a voice of the
Lord that rendereth
00:05:12.58\00:05:15.40
recompense to his enemies.
00:05:15.41\00:05:17.92
Before she
travailed, she brought forth,
00:05:17.93\00:05:20.38
before her pain came,
00:05:20.39\00:05:21.57
she was
delivered of a man child.
00:05:21.58\00:05:23.72
Who hath heard such a thing?
00:05:23.73\00:05:25.85
Who hath seen such things?
00:05:25.86\00:05:27.86
Shall the earth be made
to bring forth in one day?
00:05:27.87\00:05:30.54
Or shall a
nation be born at once?
00:05:30.55\00:05:33.08
For as soon as Zion travailed,
she brought forth her children.
00:05:33.09\00:05:37.40
Shall I bring to the birth,
00:05:37.41\00:05:38.63
and not cause to
bring forth, saith the Lord?
00:05:38.64\00:05:41.84
Shall I cause to bring forth,
00:05:41.85\00:05:43.18
and shut the
womb, saith thy God?
00:05:43.19\00:05:46.16
Rejoice ye with
Jerusalem, and be glad with her,
00:05:46.17\00:05:49.63
all ye that love her
rejoice for joy with her,
00:05:49.64\00:05:53.07
all ye that mourn for her.
00:05:53.08\00:05:55.24
That ye may
suck, and be satisfied
00:05:55.25\00:05:57.19
with the breasts
of her consolations,
00:05:57.20\00:06:00.11
that ye may milk out,
00:06:00.12\00:06:01.33
and be delighted with
the abundance of her glory.
00:06:01.34\00:06:05.04
For thus saith the Lord,
00:06:05.05\00:06:06.85
Behold, I will extend
peace to her like a river,
00:06:06.86\00:06:11.83
and the glory of the
Gentiles like a flowing stream
00:06:11.84\00:06:16.14
then shall ye suck,
00:06:16.15\00:06:18.19
ye shall be
borne upon her sides,
00:06:18.20\00:06:20.22
and be dandled upon her knees.
00:06:20.23\00:06:22.52
As one whom his
mother comforteth,
00:06:22.53\00:06:24.67
so will I comfort you,
00:06:24.68\00:06:27.28
and ye shall be
comforted in Jerusalem.
00:06:27.29\00:06:30.92
And when ye see this,
your heart shall rejoice,
00:06:30.93\00:06:33.79
and your bones shall
flourish like an herb
00:06:33.80\00:06:36.66
and the hand of
the Lord shall be known
00:06:36.67\00:06:38.40
toward his servants,
00:06:38.41\00:06:39.61
and his
indignation toward his enemies.
00:06:39.62\00:06:43.02
For behold, the
Lord will come with fire,
00:06:43.03\00:06:45.78
with his
chariots like a whirlwind,
00:06:45.79\00:06:48.43
to render his anger with fury,
00:06:48.44\00:06:50.21
and his rebuke
with flames of fire.
00:06:50.22\00:06:53.24
For by fire and by his sword
00:06:53.25\00:06:55.37
will the Lord
plead with all flesh,
00:06:55.38\00:06:57.77
and the slain of
the Lord shall be many.
00:06:57.78\00:07:01.84
They that sanctify themselves,
00:07:01.85\00:07:03.59
and purify
themselves in the gardens
00:07:03.60\00:07:06.40
behind one tree in the
midst, eating swine's flesh,
00:07:06.41\00:07:09.54
and the
abomination, and the mouse,
00:07:09.55\00:07:12.07
shall be consumed
together, saith the Lord.
00:07:12.08\00:07:14.86
For I know their works and
their thoughts, it shall come,
00:07:14.87\00:07:18.29
that I will gather
all nations and tongues,
00:07:18.30\00:07:20.37
and they shall
come, and see my glory.
00:07:20.38\00:07:23.85
And I will set
a sign among them,
00:07:23.86\00:07:25.29
and I will send
those that escape of them
00:07:25.30\00:07:27.53
unto the nations, to
Tarshish, Pul, and Lud,
00:07:27.54\00:07:32.28
that draw the bow,
to Tubal and Javan,
00:07:32.29\00:07:35.02
to the isles afar off,
that have not heard my fame,
00:07:35.03\00:07:38.47
neither have seen my glory,
00:07:38.48\00:07:40.31
and they shall declare
my glory among the Gentiles.
00:07:40.32\00:07:44.33
And they shall
bring all your brethren
00:07:44.34\00:07:45.65
for an offering unto the Lord
out of all nations upon horses,
00:07:45.66\00:07:49.54
and in chariots, and in litters,
00:07:49.55\00:07:51.13
and upon mules,
and upon swift beasts,
00:07:51.14\00:07:54.52
to my holy mountain
Jerusalem, saith the Lord,
00:07:54.53\00:07:57.83
as the children of Israel bring
an offering in a clean vessel
00:07:57.84\00:08:00.43
into the house of the Lord.
00:08:00.44\00:08:02.82
And I will also take of them
for priests and for Levites,
00:08:02.83\00:08:06.33
saith the Lord.
00:08:06.34\00:08:07.70
For as the new
heavens and the new earth,
00:08:07.71\00:08:09.91
which I will make,
shall remain before me,
00:08:09.92\00:08:12.49
saith the Lord,
00:08:12.50\00:08:13.96
so shall your seed
and your name remain.
00:08:13.97\00:08:18.16
And it shall come to pass,
00:08:18.17\00:08:19.30
that from one
new moon to another,
00:08:19.31\00:08:21.90
and from one Sabbath to another,
00:08:21.91\00:08:24.41
shall all flesh come
to worship before me,
00:08:24.42\00:08:27.44
saith the Lord.
00:08:27.45\00:08:29.58
And they shall go forth,
00:08:29.59\00:08:30.56
and look upon the
carcasses of the men
00:08:30.57\00:08:32.52
that have
transgressed against me.
00:08:32.53\00:08:34.63
For their worm shall not die,
00:08:34.64\00:08:36.01
neither shall
their fire be quenched.
00:08:36.02\00:08:38.21
And they shall be an
abhorring unto all flesh.
00:08:38.22\00:08:44.19
Continuing now to read in
the Book of Jeremiah Chapter 1
00:08:44.20\00:08:48.81
and this is the
King James Version.
00:08:48.82\00:08:52.33
The words of
Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah,
00:08:52.34\00:08:55.86
of the priests
that were in Anathoth
00:08:55.87\00:08:58.09
in the land of Benjamin.
00:08:58.10\00:09:00.18
To whom the word of the
Lord came in the days of Josiah
00:09:00.19\00:09:03.79
the son of Amon, king of Judah,
00:09:03.80\00:09:05.96
in the thirteenth
year of his reign.
00:09:05.97\00:09:08.30
It came also in
the days of Jehoiakim.
00:09:08.31\00:09:10.76
The son of
Josiah, king of Judah,
00:09:10.77\00:09:13.02
unto the end of the
eleventh year of Zedekiah,
00:09:13.03\00:09:16.04
the son of Josiah king of Judah,
00:09:16.05\00:09:18.71
unto the
carrying away of Jerusalem
00:09:18.72\00:09:21.12
captive in the fifth month.
00:09:21.13\00:09:23.85
Then the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:09:23.86\00:09:27.53
"Before I formed
thee in the belly
00:09:27.54\00:09:30.13
I knew thee and before thou
camest forth out of the womb
00:09:30.14\00:09:33.78
I sanctified thee,
and I ordained thee
00:09:33.79\00:09:35.56
a prophet unto the nations."
00:09:35.57\00:09:38.89
Then said I, Ah, Lord God!
00:09:38.90\00:09:42.10
Behold, I cannot
speak, for I am a child.
00:09:42.11\00:09:45.96
But the Lord said unto me,
00:09:45.97\00:09:47.68
Say not, I am a child
for thou shalt go to all
00:09:47.69\00:09:52.28
that I shall send
thee, and whatsoever
00:09:52.29\00:09:54.81
I command thee thou shalt speak.
00:09:54.82\00:09:57.88
Be not afraid of their faces,
00:09:57.89\00:09:59.92
for I am with
thee to deliver thee,
00:09:59.93\00:10:01.99
saith the Lord.
00:10:02.00\00:10:04.13
Then the Lord
put forth his hand,
00:10:04.14\00:10:06.05
and touched my mouth.
00:10:06.06\00:10:07.94
And the Lord said unto me,
00:10:07.95\00:10:09.15
Behold, I have put
my words in thy mouth.
00:10:09.16\00:10:13.20
See, I have this day set thee
00:10:13.21\00:10:15.66
over the nations
and over the kingdoms,
00:10:15.67\00:10:17.44
to root out, and to pull down,
00:10:17.45\00:10:19.71
and to destroy,
and to throw down,
00:10:19.72\00:10:21.69
to build, and to plant.
00:10:21.70\00:10:24.63
Moreover the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:10:24.64\00:10:27.61
Jeremiah, what seest thou?
00:10:27.62\00:10:30.51
And I said, I see a
rod of an almond tree.
00:10:30.52\00:10:35.23
Then said the Lord unto
me, Thou hast well seen,
00:10:35.24\00:10:38.53
for I will hasten
my word to perform it.
00:10:38.54\00:10:42.33
And the word of the Lord came
unto me the second time, saying,
00:10:42.34\00:10:45.41
what seest thou?
00:10:45.42\00:10:47.14
And I said, I
see a seething pot,
00:10:47.15\00:10:50.30
and the face
thereof is toward the north.
00:10:50.31\00:10:53.23
Then the Lord said unto me,
00:10:53.24\00:10:54.67
Out of the north an
evil shall break forth
00:10:54.68\00:10:57.26
upon all the
inhabitants of the land.
00:10:57.27\00:10:59.41
For, lo, I will
call ll the families
00:10:59.42\00:11:01.03
of the kingdoms of the north,
00:11:01.04\00:11:02.25
saith the Lord,
and they shall come,
00:11:02.26\00:11:03.52
and they shall set
every one his throne
00:11:03.53\00:11:05.84
at the entering of
the gates of Jerusalem,
00:11:05.85\00:11:07.44
and against all the
walls thereof round about,
00:11:07.45\00:11:09.74
and against all
the cities of Judah.
00:11:09.75\00:11:12.91
And I will utter my
judgments against them
00:11:12.92\00:11:14.56
touching all their wickedness,
00:11:14.57\00:11:16.06
who have forsaken me,
00:11:16.07\00:11:17.55
and have burned
incense unto other Gods,
00:11:17.56\00:11:20.30
and worshipped the
works of their own hands.
00:11:20.31\00:11:23.81
Thou therefore
gird up thy loins,
00:11:23.82\00:11:26.06
and arise, and speak unto them
00:11:26.07\00:11:27.62
all that I command thee be
not dismayed at their faces,
00:11:27.63\00:11:32.12
lest I confound
thee before them.
00:11:32.13\00:11:34.57
For, behold, I have made
thee this day a defensed city,
00:11:34.58\00:11:39.52
and an iron
pillar, and brazen walls
00:11:39.53\00:11:42.94
against the whole land,
against the kings of Judah,
00:11:42.95\00:11:45.50
against the princes thereof,
against the priests thereof,
00:11:45.51\00:11:48.56
and against the
people of the land.
00:11:48.57\00:11:51.19
And they shall
fight against thee,
00:11:51.20\00:11:52.76
but they shall not
prevail against thee,
00:11:52.77\00:11:55.25
for I am with
thee, saith the Lord,
00:11:55.26\00:11:58.56
to deliver thee.
00:11:58.57\00:12:00.58
Continuing in the
Book of Jeremiah Chapter 2,
00:12:00.59\00:12:03.51
this is the King James Version.
00:12:03.52\00:12:06.72
Moreover the word of
the Lord came to me, saying.
00:12:06.73\00:12:10.13
Go and cry in the
ears of Jerusalem, saying,
00:12:10.14\00:12:13.10
Thus saith the
Lord, I remember thee,
00:12:13.11\00:12:15.92
the kindness of thy youth,
the love of thine espousals,
00:12:15.93\00:12:19.37
when thou wentest
after me in the wilderness,
00:12:19.38\00:12:21.63
in a land that was not sown.
00:12:21.64\00:12:23.77
Israel was
holiness unto the Lord,
00:12:23.78\00:12:25.71
and the first
fruits of his increase
00:12:25.72\00:12:27.27
all that devour
him shall offend,
00:12:27.28\00:12:30.17
evil shall come upon
them, saith the Lord.
00:12:30.18\00:12:33.51
Hear ye the word of
the Lord,O house of Jacob,
00:12:33.52\00:12:36.33
and all the families
of the house of Israel.
00:12:36.34\00:12:39.16
Thus saith the Lord.
00:12:39.17\00:12:41.01
What iniquity have
your fathers found in me,
00:12:41.02\00:12:44.15
that they are gone far from me,
00:12:44.16\00:12:45.51
and have walked after
vanity, and are become vain?
00:12:45.52\00:12:49.40
Neither said
they, Where is the Lord
00:12:49.41\00:12:51.05
that brought us up
out of the land of Egypt,
00:12:51.06\00:12:52.62
that led us
through the wilderness,
00:12:52.63\00:12:54.15
through a land of
deserts and of pits,
00:12:54.16\00:12:56.40
through a land of drought,
and of the shadow of death,
00:12:56.41\00:12:59.19
through a land that
no man passed through,
00:12:59.20\00:13:01.24
and where no man dwelt?
00:13:01.25\00:13:02.84
And I brought you
into a plentiful country,
00:13:02.85\00:13:05.14
to eat the fruit thereof
and the goodness thereof,
00:13:05.15\00:13:07.33
but when ye
entered, ye defiled my land,
00:13:07.34\00:13:11.60
and made mine
heritage an abomination.
00:13:11.61\00:13:14.98
The priests said
not, where are the Lord?
00:13:14.99\00:13:18.93
And they that
handle the law knew me
00:13:18.94\00:13:21.27
not the pastors also
transgressed against me,
00:13:21.28\00:13:25.05
and the prophets
prophesied by Baal,
00:13:25.06\00:13:27.57
and walked after
things that do not profit.
00:13:27.58\00:13:30.72
Wherefore I will yet
plead with you, saith the Lord,
00:13:30.73\00:13:33.93
and with your children's
children will I plead.
00:13:33.94\00:13:36.81
For pass over the
isles of Chittim, and see,
00:13:36.82\00:13:39.79
and send unto Kedar,
and consider diligently,
00:13:39.80\00:13:42.44
and see if
there be such a thing.
00:13:42.45\00:13:44.88
Hath a nation
changed their Gods,
00:13:44.89\00:13:47.68
which are yet no Gods?
00:13:47.69\00:13:49.27
But my people have
changed their glory
00:13:49.28\00:13:51.76
for that which doth not profit.
00:13:51.77\00:13:54.53
Be astonished, O
ye heavens, at this,
00:13:54.54\00:13:56.93
and be horribly afraid, be
ye very desolate, saith the lord
00:13:56.94\00:14:01.06
For my people have
committed two evils,
00:14:01.07\00:14:03.49
they have forsaken me the
fountain of living waters,
00:14:03.50\00:14:07.89
and hewed them out
cisterns, broken cisterns,
00:14:07.90\00:14:11.69
that can hold no
water. Is Israel a servant?
00:14:11.70\00:14:15.35
Is he a home born slave?
00:14:15.36\00:14:17.93
Why is he spoiled?
00:14:17.94\00:14:20.28
The young lions
roared upon him,and yelled,
00:14:20.29\00:14:23.33
and they made his land waste
00:14:23.34\00:14:24.54
his cities are
burned without inhabitant.
00:14:24.55\00:14:28.42
Also the children
of Noph and Tahapane
00:14:28.43\00:14:31.13
have broken the
crown of thine head.
00:14:31.14\00:14:33.93
Hast thou not
procured this unto thyself,
00:14:33.94\00:14:37.01
in that thou hast
forsaken the Lord thy God,
00:14:37.02\00:14:39.86
when he led thee by the way?
00:14:39.87\00:14:41.92
